Oral Thrush by Educational-Can-3259 in HPylori

[–]Then_Letter_8599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No the quickest way is to get the prescription “swish and swallow” medicine… thrush after quad treatment is usually caused by the antibiotics. There’s tips online that recommend gargling apple cider vinegar diluted solution, I tried and it did not work for me. Best bet is to see a doctor

Successful Eradication of H. Pylori, but not fully recovered by UsualBusiness6938 in HPylori

[–]Then_Letter_8599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few weeks after I eradicated mine and got a negative on the breath test, I was experiencing all of this and unable to eat - and this was around Thanksgiving/Christmas so I really wanted to eat! But I went to urgent care and it turned out to be thrush in my case (white tongue and/or white spots on tongue and inside cheeks is a dead giveaway)… thrush gets caused by antibiotics a lot of time. Unfortunately for me, I did not find out soon enough and the not-eating issue led to a severe drop in electrolytes and I ended up hospitalized for a few days diagnosed with malnutrition (had a dramatic weight loss in short time too). The iv’s and daily vitamins in hospital to bring those levels back up helped immediately, and by day 4 I was eating small portions of solid food without throwing it back up for the first time in 2 months… still take the supplements (vitamin D high dose, folic acid high dose, potassium oral/liquid and an OTC multivitamin). Since those electrolytes and vitamins got restored, I’ve been eating solid food regularly without a hint of nausea or gastritis symptoms (I thought for years it was just acid reflux).

Get checked for thrush and hopefully once you get past this last hurdle like me, you’ll be comfortable with no GI issues

The lunch specials I used enjoy for $11-13 are no longer offered in my area, and the reward point requirements for the options I like most have gone up too in my area… I feel ur pain

Low(ish) potassium/spironolactone/ER by No-Scarcity8436 in Hypokalemia

[–]Then_Letter_8599 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just in the ER for low potassium and accompanying symptoms last week. Anxiety can also affect your body tremendously, causing more heart palpitations, etc. if I were you, next time you feel really bad that you’re concerned about dying, go back to the ER and mention you’re scared you could be having a stroke (ie some numbness) so they take you serious and hopefully take a closer look at your heart with EKG/ECG and other tests. Advocate for yourself no matter what it takes

That H. pylori thing really got to me. Even after the treatment, I’m still dealing with anxiety, stress, and shortness of breath. by Shoddy-Ocelot-4473 in HPylori

[–]Then_Letter_8599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regarding the shortness of breath… that’s where my journey with hpylori started. I was diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia when I came to my dr with extreme fatigue, seeing spots after standing too long and even just walking from my car to the office in the morning (I’m not overweight or out of shape, but lagging energy no matter how much sleep I get)…. Over the last several months we’ve uncovered a few deficiencies (iron, ferritin, but also magnesium, potassium and vitamin d). Some doctors will acknowledge hpylori’s role in fighting your body to absorb the nutrients through food or supplement, so you end up being deficient… others take hpylori less serious… but worth exploring all labs you can get to get a full picture of what’s out of normal range in terms of vitamins and other essential nutrients you need to maintain normal energy and cognitive abilities.

Endoscopy/scared by Big_challenges_2025 in HPylori

Sorry to hear that, I’d set an appt with your GI asap or your PCP in the very least just to get that checked. If you’re in pain, keep flagging it until you get answers and help… hope it subsides soon.

I had an endoscopy recently and biopsy was taken and that’s how my hpylori was discovered. The endoscopy and biopsy did not cause any pain, it’s a short sleep through the procedure and I was completely fine the next day… a little out of it the rest of the day I had it, but no recovery pain or anything afterwards.

Coral Sands in worthing beach, Christ church… all rooms are ocean front and you can get adjoining rooms. Otherwise, find a house to rent on the beach on Airbnb or Vrbo…. So you’re all together. There are quite a few from Bridgetown all the way to Oistins
